I’d be careful about posting too much drug info. I was at one school where the kids wrote down the drugs and the effects so they could try them! Try to get the kids involved in contributing ideas. Most will pretty much ignore anything an adult tells them. Also, check out different substance abuse websites. There is lots of free stuff available for display.

Answer by sandra dee
you should do some sort of unusual addiction like one that’s not as commonly discussed, like drugs/alcohol. maybe something like treating addiction to food, or the most interesting, sex. that last one would be nice and controversial as well 🙂 fun! push da boundaries you rebel. and it is actually a real problem for some people and not as often talked about cuz of its taboo nature!!!
